WITHDRAWN: Fender MIM Robert Cray Strat neck - rosewood fretboard

What's Hot
ZoolooterZoolooter Frets: 861
edited August 2019 in Parts £
Just picked this up from a forum member on here. Once home decided I need something chunkier, although this is a tad fatter than a normal Fender C profile. Trade for anything else thats chunkier with 21 frets. Consider any neck profile although a soft V would be perfect. But not the Mexican 50's classic player neck as it's still a bit thin for my liking.

It's in great shape, straight, nice dark rosewood. 9.5 radius with medium jumbo frets.

I'll get some pics up tomorrow.

    Update - just dyed the bright white marker dots. Now they look nicely aged.

    You would like the Ed O'Brien strat neck. Good v shaped neck. Like the Baja for a strat

    I'd rather not say. Not because I'm precious about giving information out, its just that there's a few people on here that make a living out this kind of thing. It's little things like this that might sway them to commission an aged neck, etc.

    What I will say is that, I looked on youtube and although there wasn't anybody on there that got it right, there was enough info to work it out with a bit of trial and error.

    I've stripped the neck now and nitro'd it. Man, even on a neck that ploy stuff is thick.

    Have you got any pics? Do you know the depth and the 1st and 12th frets?

    .86 at the 1st when I measured before the nitro went on.
